Klaus Ohlmann soars over Mt. Everest
Achieving many of his goals for the Mt. Everest expedition, Klaus Ohlmann climbed from 18,000' to over the top of the mountain in soaring flight. He was conducting the flight last weekend in his modified Stemme S10.
http://www.faz.net/aktuell/gesellsch...BildJumpTarget The article (in German) contains pictures and 3D video generated from the 3-camera setup Klaus was carrying. The ascent was made in ridge lift and mountain wave. According to the article, the generation of detailed 3D images of the Everest area was one of the main goals of the expedition. This was the first glider flight over Everest to my best knowledge, congratulations Klaus! Herb
